These Stubborn Zodiac Signs Refuse To Compromise

People refuse to compromise on things for a lot of different reasons — and not just because they like being stubborn because it’s easy. And, no they don't have trust issues either.

Sometimes trust has nothing to do with why a horoscope sign refuses to give in to another person. But how a person acts and feels, in astrological terms, has something to do with the way they were born and how the planets were aligned at the time of their birth.

If you were to put the zodiac signs in one of two groups – one being the most stubborn of signs and the other being laid back signs who just go with the flow — do you know which group you would be in?

I think being stubborn is more than just part of the things you read in your daily horoscope.

Not all of the more confrontational signs are hard-headed, just like not all of the more sensitive signs are pushovers.

Of course, there are a few like that who just play right into their stereotype, but for the most part, the signs most likely to refuse to compromise on anything are the ones who aren’t afraid to speak their minds (obviously).

When you aren’t afraid to share your opinion or stand up for yourself, it definitely makes it a lot easier to be stubborn because you know some people aren’t going to agree with everything you have to say.

But there definitely is a difference between refusing to compromise because you feel like you have a good reason to do so and being pig-headed and childish because you like the drama of picking a fight with someone.

I once had a roommate that was just so awful in every single way, but what made her even worse was that she would constantly start petty fights with her boyfriend because she was bored.

And when she fought with him about nothing at all, it was really just her chance to stomp around and pout like a child until she got her way.

Like an apology (again, for nothing) and some way for him to make it up to her.

She was a total pill, but she was also really stubborn just for the hell of it. If you’re like that, then yeah, you need to reevaluate your attitude.

They might be the ones you need to watch out for when they’re not in a good mood, but they’re also the ones you should trust when their stubborn streak rises. Maybe it's good to take notes on stubborn leaders when they’re thriving because they tend to blow everyone away.

Leo, you like living the good life and you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty and work hard to get where you want to be in your career, love life, and personal headspace.

So, it’s safe to say that the promotions you earn at work and the beautiful house you’re able to buy and your self-confidence are all very important to you to have and to keep.

One thing you will never compromise on in a million years is your standards. You believe that you deserve that high-end apartment and that shiny new promotion at work, and yes, even to act a little cocky (because you’ve earned it all).

Lowering your standards for anyone or anything is never going to happen. Whenever you feel like someone is undermining your success, you have to put your foot down.

Some people who don’t know you very well might consider you a hard ass, Capricorn, but you’re only ever stubborn when you feel like you need to be.

You acknowledge and value that there is a difference between right and wrong and, when given the chance, like to be the person to enforce rules to keep everyone doing the right thing.

So, when it comes to refusing to compromise, you feel like it’s always for a good reason. You like being approachable, but you do always have that hard outer shell that tells people that you aren’t here to mess around.

Your stubbornness comes straight from the heart because you want to be known as the person who’s always fighting for justice and fairness in the world.

Some might see it as you just being a pain and arguing for the sake of arguing, but anyone who knows you will know that’s untrue.
